Summary: I had a great stay at this vacation rental and would definitely come back again. The mountain view in the back was beautiful and really made the experience feel peaceful and relaxing. As someone traveling solo for the first time, I especially appreciated that the home is located in a gated community—it made me feel safe and comfortable throughout my stay.The place itself was very clean and well-equipped. I liked that there were chairs outside to sit and enjoy the view, and having pans available made it easy to cook when I didn’t feel like going out. One of my favorite touches was the guest book—it was fun reading through past visitors’ experiences and getting recommendations for things to do nearby.The community was very quiet, which made it even more enjoyable to unwind. Annie was a wonderful host—very kind, responsive, and communicative. She made sure to keep me informed about some work that needed to be done during my stay so I wouldn’t be caught off guard, which I really appreciated.Overall, this was a great experience and I would absolutely stay here again.

Summary: Would absolutely return- we spent 3 weeks. The West Side of the island is so charming, as is the apartment. Annie is an exceptional host and we were lucky to have found this spot.

Gianluca M. Feb 10, 2025 06:15:00 AM
Summary: We loved staying out in the Makaha Valley. We wanted to be away from the city area and enjoy nice beaches and beautiful surroundings, and we had just that. The gated community made us feel safe, and the views were amazing.

Summary: Joy is amazing and is one of the best hosts we have had. Perfect communication! We enjoyed our stay tremendously. It is out of town and in a new development that Google doesn’t quite recognize yet. You do have to drive through about 2 miles of homeless to get to their connecting road that leads up to the neighborhood. But with the gated community we felt so safe. Beautiful Mountain View’s and a peak of the ocean. The living space is clean and beautiful. Fully enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!

Summary: We enjoyed staying at this home during our 9 day trip to O'ahu for our 20th Anniversary! The owner was very responsive to our arrival, as well as giving us suggestions of where to eat and play! The accommodations were fantastic and were perfect for the two of us. The only issue that came up was that the fridge kept being tripped at the circuit breaker. We contacted the owner immediately and she was quick to respond and was going to be sending out an electrician as soon as one was available. As far as the other reviews about homelessness in the area, it wasn't in the immediate area (more noticeable on the beaches approx 2 miles away) and generally wasn't an issue for us; especially since we see this same issue back home. The area in which the property sits, is beautiful, quiet, and gated with a 24 hr guard who checks everyone in. We loved that the property wasn't really close to tourist attractions, as we were looking for a more quiet place! We enjoyed driving around the island exploring! We would stay at this property again if we travel back to the island!

Summary: My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed ourselves. The ADU is small but well equipped and comfortable. The owner is very attentive and kind. The neighborhood is quiet and the views of the surrounding mountains in Makaha Valley made for really great mornings or evenings on the patio. Really the only downside of the unit is the fan for the main house AC; when it kicks on it’s a little annoying while you enjoy the quiet morning in the valley. It’s a minor disturbance and not really a complaint. Regarding the location of the rental, Hawaii is home to more than tourism, and you’re going to be aware of that fact on the west side. Unfortunately a lot of people are squeezed by the high cost of living, and the homeless population has grown on the beaches that dot the coast. You’ll drive at least 15 minutes to find a beach without an encampment, unless you can access the military beach 10 minutes away. We did a lot of driving because that was our plan on this trip, so this wasn’t an inconvenience to us. If anything it just gives you a sense of the real situation on Oahu. If your goal is to post up in one place and walk to the beach every day, this probably isn’t the place for you. But if you can enjoy some driving and want to see all of Oahu, this is a good option.

Summary: Beautiful little spot that had a great view of the Mākaha Valley. Everything you need to have the perfect vacation!
Gail A. Feb 27, 2024 10:52:22 AM
Summary: The little apartment had every thing we needed, even a grill. What a backyard. Wow, the view! House was in a gated community. They do have a homeless issue on that side of the island and finding a beach without an encampment was discouraging. It was far from most of the things that we wanted to do.
